Sorrow of the Phoenix
Chapter 1
Disclaimer- I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist, nor to I own the individual characters used in this story. I am only changing portions of the storyline.
Authoress Note- I started writing this in the middle of my English class and I have a few chapter notes down so…. I hope this isn't as horrible as I think it is.
"Fire burn it all. Let everything be destroyed in one swift movement," Roy rubbed his gloves together longingly. A simple, intricate letter R, now replaced the alchemic symbols that once were displayed so vividly on those gloves. Still Roy wished he could just snap his fingers and destroy everything; they would all look up to him then.
"Pride," Sloth called, brushing her hair out of the way as she hung the phone up.
"I've explained it to you before. Call me Furor."
"Fine then, FUROR Pride," she giggled as Roy's face changed to the same deep purple as his eyes. She got the hint and sighed, "Fine, Furor Mustang. I thought you might want to know that Envy just called."
"AND?" Roy always had to push Sloth to do anything.
"And he… err it? It's an it right?"
"JUST GET ON WITH IT!"
"You don't have to shout. I'm not def."
Roy growled at her, "What did Envy want,"
"Say PLEASE,"
Roy lost his temper, "DAMMIT ELYSIA, WHAT DID ENVY WANT!"
Her mouth shook, but Elysia stayed calm, "Ed's still alive."
Roy looked over at the window, "The fire should have stopped him,"
"He says he wants you dead. He said that since you're beneath him so you should be buried below him." Sloth looked away from Roy, "He's gotten taller, more handsome too I bet," Roy fingered one of his gloves.
"What do we call him anyways? Greed or maybe Wrath, Grath just sounds funny doesn't it?"
"I don't care what you call him! The kid NEVER learned and I will never forgive him for what he did!" Roy's palms glowed a deep red as he spoke.
"You shouldn't be so harsh. It must be hard for him to have twice the agony of a sin." Roy ignored her comment, she knew little of the pain he felt as that god forsaken stone ate away at him, "Roy," Sloth took a step closer to him, "I'm really sorry about your loss, but he didn't know the whole story when it happened,"
Roy glared at her. She knew NOTHING, nothing of true pain or loss, barely even of being a sin. She was a sinless sin, the most puzzling of them all.
She put a hand on his arm, "You shouldn't be so cold, and you should be more open, more free. Like the phoenix you truly are." He lashed out at her, his fiery palm sinking into her chest. "You really are a fool PRIDE, chemistry 101. Water puts out fire," she spat as he pulled away with a hissing sound.
"I'll never forgive him," Roy growled as he peeled off his damp glove, "Edward killed Riza."
